Soak up bumps and keep the rear end planted with the Monroe OESpectrum Rear Suspension Strut 71345. It's designed to restore a vehicle's original factory drivability and ride control, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird and 2000-2006 Lincoln LS — see the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine details.
Reduced noise, vibration & harshness: the Twin Technology Active Control System delivers control under most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
Exceptional handling: rod-displaced valving, tuned specifically to each vehicle, adjusts to road extremes for a smooth, consistent ride (on most applications).
Control and durability: a PTFE-banded piston provides consistent sealing between piston and pressure tube, while OE all-weather fluid uses special additives to help resist oil breakdown in extreme temperatures.
Longer service life: a chrome-plated piston, bronze-reinforced rod guide bearing and special single-lip seal add durability (where applicable). A nitrogen gas charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration (on most applications).
Optional dust boot and jounce bumper are sold separately. Sold individually — replacing both rear struts as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride and handling. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee.
It's a direct-fit rear suspension strut for the 2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird and 2000-2006 Lincoln LS. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the fit for your vehicle.
